Forms
Examples and usage guidelines for form control styles, layout options, and custom components for creating a wide variety of forms.
Bootstrap Forms documentationForm controls
<form>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="input-label" for="exampleFormControlInput1">Text</label>

Input group break New
Long contents don't fit in small screens? Use .input-group-{breakpoint}-down-break classes to break horizontal alignment and keep the same style in vertical order. Reduce browser size to see it in action.
<div class="input-group input-group-md-down-break">
<!-- Custom Radio -->
<div class="form-control">
<div class="custom-control custom-radio">
<input type="radio" class="custom-control-input" name="genderTypeRadio" id="genderTypeRadio1">
<label class="custom-control-label" for="genderTypeRadio1">Male</label>

Custom file attachments
We use HS File Attach library to make file attachments functional.
For file inputs, swap the .form-control for .form-control-file.
The example uses HS File Attach library.
<form>
<div class="custom-file">
<input type="file" class="js-file-attach custom-file-input" id="customFile"
data-hs-file-attach-options='{
"textTarget": "[for=\"customFile\"]"
}'>
<label class="custom-file-label" for="customFile">Choose file</label>
</div>
</form>
Customized modern button look
The example uses HS File Attach library.
<form>
<!-- File Attachment Button -->
<label class="btn btn-sm btn-primary transition-3d-hover file-attachment-btn" for="fileAttachmentBtn">
<span id="customFileExample5">Choose file to upload</span>
<input id="fileAttachmentBtn" name="file-attachment" type="file" class="js-file-attach file-attachment-btn-label"
data-hs-file-attach-options='{
"textTarget": "#customFileExample5"
}'>
</label>
<!-- End File Attachment Button -->
</form>
Update photo New
The example uses HS File Attach library.
<form>
<label class="avatar avatar-xl avatar-circle mr-4" for="avatarUploader">
<img id="avatarImg" class="avatar-img" src="../assets/img/160x160/img1.jpg" alt="Image Description">
</label>
<div class="btn btn-sm btn-primary file-attachment-btn">Upload Photo
<input type="file" class="js-file-attach file-attachment-btn-label" id="avatarUploader"
data-hs-file-attach-options='{
"textTarget": "#avatarImg",
"mode": "image",
"targetAttr": "src"
}'>
</div>
</form>
or this one
The example uses HS File Attach library.
<form>
<!-- File Attachment Input -->
<label class="file-attachment-input" for="fileAttachmentInput">
<span id="customFileExample4">Browse your device and upload documents</span>
<small class="d-block text-muted">Maximum file size 10MB</small>
<input id="fileAttachmentInput" name="file-attachment" type="file" class="js-file-attach file-attachment-input-label"
data-hs-file-attach-options='{
"textTarget": "#customFileExample4"
}'>
</label>
<!-- End File Attachment Input -->
</form>
